It only took one preseason game for Joshua Karty to convince the Los Angeles Rams that he’s their best option at kicker. The Rams were already committed to Karty prior to Sunday’s 3-for-3 performance, but there’s no longer a competition at kicker.
On Tuesday, the Rams waived Tanner Brown, leaving Karty as the only kicker on the roster. Brown was signed by the Rams as an undrafted free agent last offseason but was waived before Week 1. They then signed him to a futures contract this offseason, giving him another opportunity to kick for the Rams.
Karty handled all of the kicking duties on Sunday against the Cowboys, making two field goals and a game-winning extra point. The sixth-round rookie has performed well in practice and will hopefully carry that over into the regular season.
